Re: Die Antwoord - completely bizarre South African rap

I can't remember where I saw this but yeah the whole Ninja and Yolandi solo albums is supposed to be a competition to see who can sell the most albums.

Search turned up pretty nill. The deal is with cherrytree/Interscope. Other than that every article refers to the same interview which doesn't give much confirmation. I don't feel signing up for Cherrytree's web site is worth the effort to see if they have any further info.

Re: Die Antwoord - completely bizarre South African rap

South African hip-hop group Die Antwoord has five albums up its sleeve that are ready to go, according to Consequence of Sound.

The first album in their line of releases is $O$, which they named "because if we didn't make it with this album we were gonna be f*cked," Ninja said.

The second album has already been previewed. The group started sampling it last December. No title was mentioned, however.

The third album will be called The Voice and will be featured as Yolandi's solo album. The fourth album will be a Ninja solo album entitled Dominator, which Ninja said would be released at the same time as The Voice to see which one of them sells more copies. And unfortunately, the fifth album is still being kept a secret; not that we didn't just get a pretty significant preview of all of Die Antwoord's plans, though. The group plans to shake up the pop scene over the next five years.

Five albums! My goodness. I have my doubts that all five albums will come to fruition. Will the masses still care about Die Antwoord in five years? Only time will tell.

If you haven't already check out Constructus Corporation, one of their earlier projects that really shows their actual talent, I am pretty into it really, and I encourage you to check it out. The album comes as a part of an 88 page graphic novel written by Ninja or Waddy, who has been referred to as the "South African Kool Keith". Dont know if I'd go that far but I can def hear it in this first track,
